  • 1/2 cup uncooked orzo or rosamarina pasta
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Steps

  • 1
    Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high about 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain.

    Find orzo in the pasta aisle at your local grocery store.
